Default VStrom Nav Mounting Bracket

I just received via AliExpress the VStrom Nav Mounting Bracket. I tend to think that I read in this forum that it will work with the Pan Am. Can someone please direct me to the post/thread? Or provide me with more details on how the brackets mount?
Thanks in advance!

After fiddling around with this bracket for about an hour, I've come to the conclusion that there is no possibly way this will mount "out of the box".
